you have to think of weight distribution. If you say you had a 600 L tank fit it central (which is right up near the seat, this gives an even load when cornering ect ect, if you had a small tank 100 L then IMO it would not be a problem.

100l no way IMO 250 maybe, if you live near your work for could always transfer it to a small tank in van just pop back and refill when needed, I personally like to have enough water

Each axle has it's own max payload. U can overload an axle without going near ur total max payload so the tank must be situated without overloading an axle. Basically central between the 2.

no no not small.... my van is too small and sluggish.. its an expert 1.9.... with a 250 tank... i want room and power for the upgrades of tanks etc.... and space to work from.

i wish i had never bought it.

think tranny, vivaro, thats the size in my opinion.

you will be able to create a crewcab ( name of style of van with middle seats ) out of a transit and have a 400 L behind the seats

you will also be able to get a rear bulkhead aswell
